Fundamental properties of boron carbide

What is the structure of boron carbide? The most stable boron carbide structure is B13C2, B12C3, B4C and other phases close to B12C3 with rhombohedral structure. In addition, there are some metastable boron carbide structures. The rhombohedral structure of boron carbide includes 12 icosahedral atomic clusters, which are connected to each other by covalent bonds,

Application of Boron Carbide as Antioxidant Additive in Low Carbon Magnesia Carbon Bricks

Boron carbide is expected to be used in air battery catalyst

The application of boron carbide in nuclear industry and national defense industry can be divided into the following points:
